Hi,

I would like to know if you guys have a solution to that problem. Everything is working fine, and thanks for the package.

The only problem I am facing and I couldn't find any help googling is that if the ios side that is chatting goes to background mode it misses the messages sent to it during that time. I know the iOS background mode doesn't allow the communication to happen, but when it is active again it could update with new messages.

I was trying to use some ChatAdapter methods like fetchInitialData and loadPreviousChatMessages but no result.

I'm in an React Ionic project, using:
"@azure/communication-chat": "^1.1.2",
"@azure/communication-common": "^2.0.0",
"@azure/communication-react": "^1.1.0",

Thanks, @ddematheu2.

I think it is an important issue.

So, for someone that can be facing the same issue and as an update, I got a solution adding a listener event to the app state change (when it is active again) and recreating the ChatAdapter and calling the fetchInitialData and loadPreviousChatMessages.
